I have enjoyed the hobby of Fine Scale Modeling since I was a small boy. The subject matter has been varied but there are some favourites. Space flight has been a fascination since I first heard JFK tell Americans they “can go to the Moon”…. Aircraft have been a favourite since I remember my first airplane ride as a 4 year old, when I flew to Goose Bay Labrador with my family.
Combining a fascination with history in general, and military history in particular, with the story telling aspect of modeling, now every project tells a story.
As a teenager I used my parents bathroom as a darkroom to process black and white film and my own prints. I learned early that one of the best ways to get photographs you like is to take lots of pictures, lots of pictures. With the advent of digital photography I had a lot of re-learning to do. This has also given me the opportunity to combine all of my interests by photographing my story-telling displays.
Hope you find something pleasing.
In my other life, I was a Aquatic Facilities manager; university student, twice; intern at psychiatric facility; pilot in CAF; systems & business analyst for a global company with specialties in all things water. I have recently retired and guess what I will do with all that time.
